ANDERSON 911 Locust Street St. Louis, Missouri * Sed emi BE RORTIE™ January 15, 1939 To all Central District Institutions Training Teachers in Physical Education: The annual convention of our association is to be held at Sioux City on March 29, 30, 31 and April 1, 1959. Among other interesting features will be the general session for students on Saturday morning, April 1, at 10:15 o'clock. The theme of this session is: Are we ready to teach? The plan is to have a senior man, a senior woman, and a first year teacher (holding a bachelor's degree) present the young teacher's point of view. Then two talks will be given, one by an expert in teacher training, and the other by a superintendent of schools. The Convention Committee has voted that the two seniors and the first year teacher be selected by a contest. It is our plan to ask those interested to submit copies of ad~- dresses on the subject: Are We Ready To Teach? These manuscripts should be not more than 2000 words in length, and must represent the author's own ideas and ability to express them. They must be submitted, typed, double spaced, with at least one inch margins, to the committee of juiges by February 10, 1939. They should be sent to Mr. A. O. Anderson, chairman of the committee, Director of Physical Education, Board of Education, Saint Louis, Missouri. Announcement of the names of the winners will be in the March Journal of Health and Physical Education. We are asking all heads of teacher training departments to call the attention of their students and first year teachers to this contest, and to urge them to submit papers. The effort to put into good form ideas on this subject will be of great value to the young teacher, regardless of his success in winning the contest. We send cordial good wishes to you and your department for the New Year, and we hope to see you in Sioux City. Sincerely, THE CONVENTION COMMITTEE A. OQ. Anderson Gertrude Baker J. I. Godfring W. N.

Page 8—Sports News Another Angle — By Parke Carroll A Leg to Stand On With neither truth nor justice one couldn’t say that the University |: of Kansas. basketball squad today didn’t have a leg to stand on.|: That in fact seemed to be the main difficulty. It had a leg to stand]: os, oer one, and no more. The attacking and inspirational force has suffered a demountable knee and now the good word has gone forth that K. U. is not likely to- succeed itself as Big Six con- ference champion unless the knee Ralph Miller injured in football gets well in a hurry. The Chanute, Kas., boy who was labled by more than one competent critic as the “‘greatest high school basketball player I ever saw,” played a few minutes against Oklahome last Saturday night. If there had been any doubt about his condition it was removed as he labored up and down the floor, his knee protected by a heavy brace. He was. just among those present. He couldn’t shift to play defense, although he did loop in a long shot from about 30 feet to lend support to the testimony of Coach Allen that ‘Miller is the man to replace Fred Pralle. There is a letterman on Mt. ‘Oread for virtually every position ‘and one or two spares. Judging by his work against Oklahoma, ‘Howard Engleman is a sophomore find, but the team lacks a leader. Pralle was more than a rebound force and a scoring threat from any place in the offensive end of the floor. He was the settling influ- ence, the ignition system, the field general. Outside of Pralle, there is more talent on the Jayhawker squad this winter than the one which raced through the conference last year with the loss of only a single game. Tribute to Oklahoma and Drake Miller’s knee is on the mend. A month. ‘ago he could hardly walk. He practiced for the first time about two weeks ago, and now he is far enough along to make all: trips. He may be ready to take a leading part within two weeks. _ “Oklahoma is a fine team and Bruce Drake is a fine young coach,” Dr. Allen said following the Sooner victory They, may be beaten, but I don’t know who ‘can keep them from winning the championship.” Drake refuses to recognize his squad as the favorite, but he con- fesses that it is a good team and better than the December record indicates. The Sooners broke even with an able Colorado squad in Boulder. After closing the series on a Saturday night, the squad drove. back to. Norman for two with Arkansas the following Monday and Tuesday. “It was. too much.for us,” Bruce explained, “it taught me some- thing about schedule making. In addition to most of the boys being tired, we didn’t have our full strength and haven’t had all season.” There is an interesting story behind the story of Drake’s victory over K. U. in his debut as a Big Six conference coach. Dr. F..C. Allen has never beaten a team with which Drake was connected as player or coach. K. U. and O. U. did not~meet in 1927, Drake’s sophomore year| > as.a player under Hugh McDermott. However, he sparked the Sooners to wins by 45 to 19 and 30 to. 21 in 1928. In 1929, with Drake again playing an all-conference. role, the Sooners won, 27 topes |e- after trailing 11 to 2 early in the game. In the second game that season the Sooners won, 40 to 25. : Basketball Interest Runs High The conference enjoyed a successful football season and basket- ball interest is running high because there is not an. outstanding favorite. Basketball interest in general has been on the upgrade for a number of years and Dr. Allen explains it as follows: Basketball is a game played in the opem and easy to under- stand. In the last 10 years ‘most of the large field houses and audi- toriums have been built. An understanding interest has been de- veloped and the rules have been kept ‘simple. The caliber of play is better because the players are taught more and taught better. Athletic journals and - periodicals give coaches information formerly available only in an occasional book. Coaching schools and clinics — coaches to exchange ideas and /keep abreast of the imes. In Dr. Allen’s opinion there is a big difference between high school and:college and university basketball. He believes a difference in interpretation of the rules, making university play more rugged and demanding so much more aggressiveness, that high school boys find it almost a different’ game. | To be a good university player, the boy must have tremendously |1 aggressive power. Basketball is being footballized, he says, and|: football basketballized, He believes a 12-foot basket, instead of the present 10-foot goal, would eliminate much of the contact of the! modern game.
